Red GM Presents: Avernus

About the adventure

Baldur’s Gate is a city on the edge of collapse. Refugees flood the streets, strange cult activity spreads through the shadows, and the once-stable order of the city is beginning to fracture. Rumors whisper of secret gatherings, forbidden rituals, and powerful figures pulling strings from behind the scenes. Something dark is taking root beneath the surface, and the consequences threaten to reach far beyond the city walls. You are a group of adventurers drawn together by opportunity, duty, or circumstance. Whether you came seeking fortune, justice, knowledge, or simply survival, you now find yourselves caught in the growing tension that grips Baldur’s Gate. The city’s leaders struggle to maintain control while hidden forces maneuver in secret, each pursuing their own mysterious goals. As you investigate strange events and confront dangerous enemies, you’ll uncover pieces of a much larger puzzle. Cults worshipping dark powers, ancient secrets buried beneath the city, and powerful figures with hidden motives all begin to intertwine. What begins as a local investigation quickly reveals that the fate of Baldur’s Gate may be tied to something far more dangerous than anyone expected. Your journey will take you through the crowded streets of a desperate city, into forgotten ruins, and across dangerous lands filled with monsters, mercenaries, and supernatural threats. Along the way you’ll encounter allies, rivals, and enemies whose choices may shape the course of events just as much as your own. In this campaign, survival, strategy, and difficult decisions will matter just as much as combat. The choices you make will influence who rises, who falls, and what becomes of the people caught in the conflict. Will you expose the truth behind the growing darkness, or will the forces moving in secret prove too powerful to stop? One thing is certain: Baldur’s Gate is standing at the edge of something terrible. What happens next may change the world forever.
